EMPEROR WILLIAM IS RAISING OSTRICHES Has Ranch of 100,000 Acres in German Southwest. Africa. IIV LA MMMMIM: DE FONTENOY. EMI'EROR WILLIAM hna Just em? barked In tb<: business of raising ostriches on his 100,000 aero ranch in German South-West Af? rica, with a vb-w to furnishing plumes to the home trade. He has done this on the advice of Carl Haken? beck, tho greatest wild animal dealer In the world, and on tho recommenda? tion of German Colonial officials, us the best means of making bis ranch pay. Indeed, Hagenbeck, who has a big I ortrlch farm In tho eolony himself, (has undertaken to stuck tho Emperor's [estate with nlrds, und to organize the breeding establishment for him. It seems that the soil of tho Kalsor's property Is particularly favorable to the scheme. The Emperor expects that tlie success of his new venture will encourage men of wealth to follow his example, and result In tho devel? opment of a profitable trade, which may make u hitherto unreinuneratlve colony pay for Its upkeep. William and his family are very fond of obi Carl Hagenbeck. who is one of the greatest characters in tho empire. At the Instance of his sovereign he took charge some time ago of the creation of a great zoological garden on the so c all od Jungfei nhalde, In tho outskirts of Horlln. The park is to be organ? ized much In the same way as that of Hagenbeck at Stellingen, near Ham? burg; that Is to say, the animals, birds and reptiles are to havo enormous! space nt their disposal, the safeguard Inj; iron fences being so concealed by tho art of the landscape gardener, that they appear to be at liberty. The work upon the park Is already under way, and Its opening to the public Is looked for toward the end of next year. When completed It will bo one of the principle attractions of tho Oerman metropolis, und will be su? perior to anything elso of tho sort In Europe. Tho appcaranco of Captain, the Hon. Eric Cpton of tho King's Royal Hilles, son and heir of Lord Teuipletown, In tho ridiculous divorce suit of Arch? deacon Colley's gunner son, serves to recall that h's ancestor, Clotwnrthy Upton, first Viscount Templetown, was tho grantee of 20,000 acres in what Is now tho Stato of New York, the trAct being known as "Upton's Patent." about the middle of the eighteenth century. He obtained this through the Influence of the Dowager Princess Of Wales, tho Imperious and masterful mother of King George III. He was th Comptroller of her house&old His son the second Lord Templetown was married Ilrst to Countess Chris? tine von Lltzenborg. a natural daught? er of King Frederick William II.. of Prussia and that Erederlca Rietz who. .of humble origin, played so Important a role throughout that monarch's en? tire adult life and reign, in Epite of his marriage and his temporary Infat? uations for various other women. It was she, Indeed, who persuaded him to withdraw from the coalition aga'nst republican Franco, In the closing years of the eighteenth century, the urgent appeals of his ministers nnd his royal j allies notwithstanding. On his death, i Frederica was arrested by order of his ! successor, Frederick William III, nn^ ! forced to stand a state trial, which l resulted In her surrender of Jewels, documents nnd crown property, and j her Imprisonment for some years In the only chateau which sho was nl | lowed to retain.

The Uptons come from an an j clent family which Is still represented In England by tho Uptons, of Ingmlro I tall. Westmoreland, and which fur-j I nlshed In olden times many members j to tho sovereign Order of tna Knights of Malta. Tho first to settle In ire- 1 I land was Henry Upton (ono of tho i commanders of the forces of tho Earl | of Essex in Qunen E'lUabotit's da7), who received a largo grant of lanu In I County Antrim for PIh services In repressing tho Irish rebels, ills prop? erty Included an ancient cnstle, to which he gave the name of Castle Upton, In memory of his ancestral home, L'Upton Castle, In Devonshire. The present Lord Templetow-n Is a j prominent freemason and -n ardent | unionist. Lord Fouthesk. who has Invited An-j drew Carnegie to stay with him at Kinnalrd Castlo on tho occasion of the Ironmaster's unveiling of tho Burns statue at Montrose next week. Is the j chief of the groat Scotch clan of Car? negie, to which the Laird of Sklbo j belongs. Tho relations between a l highland chief ond h's retainers were very Intimate In ancient times: bo much so that they all assumed the patronymic of their lord. Thus, uU tho clansmen Of the Duke of Argyll style themselves Campbell, those of tho Duke of Atholl are the Murray* and at those of the Enrl of Southesk have from olden days boon Carnegies. His own name Is James Carnegie, and ho Is also Lord Carnegie In Scotland, by virtue of a peerage created by James VI, Just before he succcodcu to the throne of England as Jarnos I. The present I*ord Southesk, while a cultured und agreeable man, has not succeeded so far In achieving any of tho distinction In ttrt, letters and science, In which others of his family I have won. Ills father, the late, earl, was very well known In this country. I As Sir Jnmes Carnegie, sixth baronet ! of that creation, ho traveled exten? sively In the 1'nlted States and wrote ! several pleasant books about America at a time when It was less familiar to j Europeans than to-day. Afterwards I he devoted much time to the explorn j tlon of the more remote districts of I Canada. In fact, thoro are several i towns on both sldue of tho ?omln Ion border that bear the names eif Southesk or Carnegie In his honor? and not In that of the author of "Trl I umphant Democracy." He was a great : favorite with Queen Victoria, through whose good will he obtained a re? versal of the parliamentary attainder of his family honors, and thus became eighth Earl of Southesk. Tho Carnegies date their origin from the fourteenth century, when David II of Scotland made a grant of the lunds anil Barony of Carnegie. In Korfarshlro, to the founder of tho family. It was In recognition of the devotion of a Lord Carnegie to the Ill-fated Mary Queen of Scots that ho was advanced to the Earldom of Southesk by her son, .lames. Tho llfth Earl of Southesk naturally sided with the Stuarts In 1716, and had his honors attainted by net of Parliament; Ho died without Issue, and his next heir and third cousin, David Carne? gie, managed, by means of valuable services to tho Hanoverian dynasty, especially In America, to recover the ancestral estates of his houso and to win a baronetcy. David's grandson and namesuke. tho fourth baronet, married tho daughter of Andrew El? liot, Lleutenant-Governor of New York. A younger son of the second bar? onet, George Carneglo by name, took part In the Jacobite Tlsing of 1715, was mi ofllcor of the Young Preten? der's bodyguard, and after tho disas? trous battle of Cullodon lied to Swed? en, where he founded at Gothenburg the mercantile firm of Carneglo ,fc Company, which cxistB thoro to this day.
